Blog Purpose

This blog is a record of my own experience figuring out my life and looking for a job. I will address a number of topics, including:
  • Job hunting methods that go beyond simply sending out resumes
  • Ways to discover what you want to do with your life
  • Making and following through with goals for your future
  • Reviews of online and printed resources to help with the above topics
  • My experience following my own advice


I have a specific audience in mind for this blog. If you fit into any of the following categories, you may want to keep reading:
  • The millions out there who are unemployed or underemployed and who would like tips on finding a new job.
  • Recent college graduates who spent all that time, effort, and money and who are now running into barriers getting past that first employment hurdle.
  • Anyone who suddenly finds themselves with no direction for their future and would like help figuring it out.
  • Undecided college students who need to pick a major, but don't know what they want to do.
  • Potential future employers who'd like to know more about me before making hiring decisions (hope hope).
  • Other advisors who get a kick out of reading advising blogs.


No matter who you are or why you're here, welcome!
